Hilda Theobald

Hilda Theobald (1901–1985) was a British artist, notable as a modeller and sculptor of portrait busts.

Theobald was born at Soham in Cambridgeshire and attended St Edmund's School in Hunstanton.

[1] Her mother was a local Cambridgeshire woman and her father, who was originally from Norfolk, was a farmer.

[2] In due course, Theobald began casting her own sculptures, often portrait heads and busts, in resin, bronze and silver.

[1][2] Examples of her work include a font with four silver panels for a church at Toftwood, a sculpture in a church at Great Snoring, a bronze bust for a store at High Wycombe and portrait busts for collections in Texas, Kenya and Germany.
